How to Make Shortbread Cookies With Jam Or Jelly Centers
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Gradually blend in 2 cups all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours).
- Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Using the end of a wooden spoon or your thumb, make an indentation in the center of each ball.
- Fill each indentation with about ½ teaspoon of your favorite jam or jelly (raspberry, apricot, apple, blackberry, blueberry – the options are endless!).
- Bake for 14-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
